Food/Beverage Processing

 

Food/beverage processing parts must meet high standards for a clean, sterile surface while providing long-lasting service. 

 

 

How Arizona Hard Chrome Can Help

 

Because hard chrome provides a superior smooth, sterile finish, it is perfect for the food/beverage processing industry.  We can take a damaged part and pre-grind it to take out the damaged areas and then re-chrome and polish it to the original specifications.  This repaired part will last much longer due to the thicker coat of chrome that we apply. 

 

Because hard chrome is such a dense material - it is virtually non-porous- therefore, bacteria has no place to form.  Hard chrome is U.S.D.A. approved for use on food/dairy/beverage  processing parts. 

 

A hard chromed finish will resist wear better than stainless steel or other non-corrosive materials normally used while still maintaining its' bacteria-free status. Hard chrome is resistant to most corrosive acids used in food/beverage processing and is heat resistant up to 1200 degrees F.  

 

Therefore, hard chromed fixtures are used in the beverage, dairy, beef processing, wrapping, forming, packaging and other food processing industries.
